Which healthcare professional is typically a secondary care provider?

Answer 1

people that work with other patients in the hospital

Answer 2

The healthcare professional who is typically a secondary care provider is a dermatologist. Primary care providers are those whom you go to first - so, you first see the doctor (physician) and his assistant/nurse, who then refer you to a specialist - a physician is usually a GP, which means that here the only specialist is a dermatologist who specializes in skin problems.
